Northern Pass is in position to deliver the largest amount of clean power to New England a full two years faster than all competing projects. CLF’s repeated attacks on the project are based on a financial deal it cut with a competing project in Vermont proposed by a New York developer. As an administrator of a fund in excess of $250 million associated with that project, CLF has a clear conflict of interest that it does not disclose when it attempts to diminish the importance of the substantial benefits Northern Pass will provide directly to Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the rest of New England:

Support for the project – Northern Pass has earned the support and respect of New Hampshire’s largest businesses and chambers of commerce, as well as the governor, legislative leaders, organized labor and many of the state’s small businesses, workers and service providers who will benefit from the project’s $1.6 billion investment.

We are proud of the work that has been done to this point to provide to our state and federal siting authorities and the Massachusetts RFP evaluators the facts they require. And, we are confident that our balanced approach, respectful of many varied interests, will prove it fully qualified to succeed.
